It's been a rough year for many here, and an awesome one for others. Regardless of your particular camp, may your next year be better than this one.

Not long to go now, drinking and feasting awaits.

Salutations to you, champions one and all. See you on the flipside.]]>

Some of us bloody antipodals are up already, moving cattle and large pieces of metal around. Cup of bloody tea. Then start the bloody welding. Fuck. Whose idea was it to see in the New Year getting ...
Fuck.

You know, you can tell it's summer down here when everything goes yellow and the flies are up before dawn. Also, Happy New Thing. Yes. Cannot brain.

Just came in to feed the children. First thing the 11 year old says - not "Good morning" or "Happy New Year" - is "Dad, who's bigger, you or Stephen?" (Stephen is his 18 year old cousin.) So I say, "Well, uh, Steve's taller than me but I probably weigh more..." "No no no that's not what I mean." "What then?" "I mean, like, total displacement."

"... uh... I suppose we could each get in the swimming pool and you could measure the level WHO THE FUCK MEASURES THEIR RELATIVES BY VOLUME]]>

Mr. Holland is saving things a little bit, but definitely nothing like the Hives this year. I've had my fix of Phil and Ally though, so it's okay. Happy new year to the big messy lot of ye!

The Mountain Goats ?@mountain_goats I didn't know before Twitter that people played "This Year" at the end of the year to celebrate having come through hard times

The Mountain Goats ?@mountain_goats I seldom lack for words but I struggle to say how deeply moved I am to know that the song we stood there tracking handclaps for in 2004

The Mountain Goats ?@mountain_goats has come to mean something special for people. so I said this last year I'm pretty sure and I'm saying it again tonight: THANK YOU]]>

There's a sound that people make sometimes, a mere phrase, a verbal tic, so common that they don't even know they're doing it. It's not a place-holder auditory parking spot, as in "like" or "um". It's not an involuntary sound, like a cry or a scream or a sigh. It's a phrase, a mere phrase, and it's insidious and deadly as cancer or the cobra or a sheet of lightning. And people say it everyday and they don't even notice it, they say this phrase out loud and they believe it, they give it weight and power. And it's wrong. So rather than spitting out a cheap "Happy New Year!" or something trite and/or possibly offensive, I've decided to pen this little missive and send it out to anyone who will look, to warn you all in this freshly-minted year to avoid at all costs this poisonous phrase for the next twelve months and, indeed, forever and ever.

The phrase is "I can't [...]."

Yes, you can.

Happy New Year, Everyone.]]>
